Personally, I find the replays simply cheap. They looked many times "liquid" and beautiful in Dirt2. One almost feels the car jerks as on track and the AI is unfortunately also bad to look at. At least it's on the Expert Mode that. The AI drives "zigzag" and because they are so stupid, the player is punished with a non-inflicted collision. Penalties and flag rules, CM should urgently revise, have these first runtergestellt in the options, because the already extremely annoying.
To ride one can say otherwise only that it already comes across very well. You really get the feeling you're sitting in a F1 car. The sound is right, the camera, everything super. Only the rear-view mirror is annoying, since it simply aufpopppen jerky textures. Just looks shit ...
Despite the small drawbacks, the game is once you entered already horny, especially with the steering wheel, it is addictive after every thousandth seek :)
